00:01:03 - I know that RMS Queen Mary and RMS Lusitania were both hit by massive rogue waves that destroyed Lusitania's bridge and made Queen Mary list very badly so how much damage could one do to a warship from the same period?
00:04:51 - What would happen if those ships interned in Scapa Flow decided to return to Germany using force and was that a real threat?
00:06:06 - MN Commandant Teste?
00:11:12 - If the Chinese actually have working ammunition at the Battle of the Yalu River. How does this affect IJN doctrine going forward?
00:14:37 - Do vessels of this age through the period the channel covers use gearing? i.e. have a transmission. Why or why not?
00:19:21 - I've seen the photos of the model of Duke of Kent (the unbuilt "largest man of war ever") and the photos of HMS Howe (1860) the largest man of war actually ever built (though never getting to sail as such unlike her sister HMS Victoria) and Duke of Kent comes off as being nowhere near as long as Howe, is this perception correct?
00:21:52 - Which Pearl Harbor survivor should have been saved?
00:26:32 - What if the Scharnhorst's tried to fight HMS Rodney?
00:32:37 - Do you plan to do a video on the actions of the Royal Navy on the Delaware during the American War for Independence?
00:34:30 - Falklands War what-ifs?
00:40:55 - Why didn’t Britain buy or lend lease one of the Iowa's?
00:46:36 - What were the construction differences during age of sail in warships vs merchant ships, other than the obvious things like more gun-ports or cargo holds?
00:50:51 - How did the process of internment work? What would have happened if the Admiral Graf Spee had not left Montevideo?
00:54:04 - Other than convoy escort, what did the US Navy do in World War I?
01:00:42 - Admiral Walter Warzecha

Disadvantages - complexity, and likely more demand on space inside hull, rather than suggested "saving". Likely some cost in speed for a given installed propulsive power. Also potential increases in both acquisition and support costs. Also likely to increase weight.
